Jackcoke, I hope you get your bike problem resolved. I recently spent money on a folding bike that suffered a lot of breakdowns and eventually had to be returned. It was a huge source of frustration. Now I'm in the market for a better quality folder.
Anything having to do with the integrity and safety of any latch on any folding bike is a very touchy subject, bordering on riders' safety, lawyers, and a folding bike manufacturer's reputation. I think the Dahon faithful just really want to clear this up fast. I really don't blame them.
